Damn Vape Fresia MTL/RL RTA

[Fredman1]

Yeah I hate it when its stationary on the tracker.
Nah you'll beat me for sure. Mine'll be sitting in some warehouse in China at least till the 15th. Then a hungover Chinese fella will probably be pushing it around some (cause he won't have the will, nor the strength to pick it up) for at least a few days, until it makes it out that door...only then will my counting start....

Oh Fredman! But think how happy you'll be sometime in March or April, when you have completely forgotten about your order, a lovely package will suddenly appear in your mailbox. Happened to me a couple of times. I love Chinese New Year!

sometime in March or April,

Ah @Katya, i'm depressed already by that thought. I just can't get used to this waiting thing.
Maybe @AngeNZ will pop hers to me in the overnight courier.... I can have a few puffs and I send it back the next night

Just ordered the gunmetal from MFS. They're only 80 miles up I-85 from here so it should be here by late week/ I just knew it would drive me nuts waiting on the CNY to pass.

On the other hand, I was talking with a friend who just started vaping...told him when he gets ready to start rebuilding to let me know. Told him I'd give him a few as I have so many RTAs that it should be the 8th Deadly Sin.

You're dreaming mate

Only rta I'd happily part with is my vapefly galaxies rta - waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too tight for me

Mine arrived today and it is taking the obligatory bath in Dawn. I'm sure I'll be using my first bubble glass, so the search begins for one of those vape bands I tossed into the dark corner of Hell over the years.

So no one but me is allowed to purchase from 3fvape

I have a confession to make. Not only did I order my Fresia from 3FVape, sorry Ange, I just got an email that my order has been shipped.

 

[Jumpin' In...]

Email from My Freedom Smokes says that the Fresia is $23.76 with promo code: 15TANKSMFS.

Just saying, not buying.

Good, I'm glad you got one AND that it has been shipped. I was only teasing about 3fvape

Cute pigtails BTW

 

[Katya]

Did you get a shipping confirmation from 3FV? I was shocked because I wasn't expecting any action before February 15th or so.

Nah I went with a UK supplier - tempted to go with 3fvape as well though now

I think I just learned to not do a comb out on the wick when using a 2.5mm coil in this atty. Getting some leakage.

Oh, man - I hope this is an exception not a rule. That's the one thing that will kill it for me.

I lean towards 3.0 coils, with a good chunk of cotton. I don't know if that matters but I'll remain optimistic. The last thing I need is another Digiflavor Siren.

I do not have any full leaks on mine but also had some sipping when I thinned wick.... I do not want to sound alarmist but this tank can be finicky to wick. I do not like it after a week as much as on first day. After a day of use I noticed a tank not wick as well as in the beginning so I rewicked looser and after a while story repeats... my draw produced hotter less flavorful vape and amount of vapor was smaller and that is good indication that cotton is starved for juice... I also noticed no air bubbles... when I unscrew top filling cup huge air bubble showed up... it looks like vacume build up cause poor juice transport through wick.

I did not had real dry hits but I know that poor wicking cause flavor degradation and harshness so I decided to comb wick even more but after doing it I had some small leak. Well I will experiment further but I am disappointed because my first impression were so great... flavor and draw were perfect... but maybe I am not as good at wicking as I thought.

Thanks, Janusz.

If this thing turns out to be a loser, after all the reviewers slobbered all over it, I will officially be done believing even one single word out of any of their mouths.

I encouraged Kat to buy them because they were being unilaterally "lapped up", and I'm starting to feel like a total fool for buying into it.

I'll withhold judgment until I've had a chance to play with them, but you've seen & used enough that I'm concerned.

If so, I'll owe her an apology (and a bit of coin too, methinks).

Well, I feel guilty also... good lesson learned not to be enthusiastic based on first impressions. I will tinker with this tank because when it works it is great and problem with wicking can be on my side. I will try different builds... so far I rewicked three times with two different coils and freshly wicked works great...problems start usually after couple hours later... and maybe not all Fresias act that way... unscrewing top cup for a moment fix the problem for a while but it is for sure annoying.
